What Are Ghost Ships: The Unbeatable Ship
What are GHOST ships?
Minimising drag is an important consideration
when designing ships, as friction between the
vessel and water reduces efficiency. Juliet Marine
Systems (JMS) Inc has solved this problem by
incorporating innovative tech into its demonstration
ship called GHOST.
of each strut highlights a immersed tubular hull
containing the propulsion system. Whereas a
conventional propeller vessel leaves a trail of foam,
GHOST’s unique design redirects bubbles to surround
the twin hulls with pockets of gas. This effect is
known as supercavitation, allowing the boat to glide
through the air preferably than water.
GHOST’s wings can be repositioned to lift the main
cabin above the water. Rising above the jarring waves
ensures a smooth ride, protecting the crew from
impact injuries and seasickness, while also improving
the balance and accuracy of onboard sensors and
